I can't believe I'm still replying to this...

The fact that he used the word correctly doesn't mean anything. People that think niggardly is a racist term, still know what the word means. They just think it derives from the racist word [censored], and is based on the racist idea that black people are inherently cheap and poor.

That would be why I thought he was making a bad pun on the word. If he knew the word wasn't racist, the joke is even dumber.

It's his apt usage of a seldom used word, that is often miscontrued as racist, while referring to a comment that someone has miscontrued as racist, that signals to us so clearly his intentions.
